Manchester City took down Fabian Hurzeler's high-flying Brighton & Hove Albion on penalties to advance into the quarter-final stage of the 2026/27 Carabao Cup.

Enzo Maresca's side arrived at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday looking to carry on the defence of silverware they won in March, having comfortably dispatched of Norwich City last time out in the competition, and finding things much harder against Brighton.

The Seagulls took the lead on the half-hour mark as Georginio Rutter found Malick Yalcouye to blast past Geronimo Rulli from close range despite suggestions of offside.
